Not long after the political commissar and chief of staff left the headquarters, commando captain Xiao Yuan and reconnaissance company commander Chen Wei came hand in hand and stood in front of Li Hao!
The troops captured the three counties of Laiyuan, Guangling, and Hunyuan. In order to complete the investigation mission, the two troops acted as the eyes of the troops and did not dare to fight even if a Japanese enemy came to them!
It wasn't until the counterattack was about to end that they received the order to move freely!
But when they let go and prepared for a big fight, the Japanese were all turned into cowards!
So after the entire counter-offensive, the other troops in the garrison more or less had merits that they could show off, but they didn't!
As the two most powerful units in the garrison, they should not lag behind others both emotionally and rationally!
Therefore, both commanders were holding back their anger and wished they could go find the Japanese to fight for a comeback!
Seeing Li Hao, the two people immediately showed expressions of eagerness to try, and then asked for a fight: "Captain, do you have a mission?"
"Two tasks!" Li Hao answered directly!
"The first mission is to expand the commando team and reconnaissance company!"
"Before this major counterattack began, the regiment headquarters' expansion order was issued, but because of the battle, you never implemented it!"
"Now that we have time, you two must seize the time and fully prepare the troops within ten days, and then strengthen training!"
"I'll only give you twenty days to train. I don't require you to train the new recruits directly to the level of the veteran team members. That's unrealistic! But you must be able to independently carry out reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines under the leadership of the veteran team members.
level!"
"The scale will be expanded according to the establishment given to you by the regiment headquarters last time!"
"The commando team has three combat units! The reconnaissance company has three reconnaissance platoons and nine reconnaissance squads!"
"You can get equipment from the political commissar, or you can solve it yourself!"
"Personnel are directly drawn from all main battalions and local units of the entire regiment!"
"For cadres and soldiers below the platoon, you can shoot whoever you like!"
This is definitely the good news that the two of them want to hear most besides fighting!
The more troops you have under your command, the more ways you can fight the Japanese in the future.
If you encounter a larger enemy again, you won't be unable to attack due to too few troops as before!
The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, and they both saw the excitement from the other's eyes, and at the same time they replied: "Don't worry, captain!"
"I promise to bring you a new commando...reconnaissance company..."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yuan did not forget the first words the group leader said after seeing them, and continued to ask!
"Captain, where is our second mission?"
Li Hao's face suddenly became more serious than ever before!
Then he hesitated for a long time before speaking: "I can tell you now, but I must keep it confidential!"
"Your next task may seem simple, but it is very important. It is related to whether the next major operation of the garrison can be carried out smoothly!"
The eyes of the two people became hot at the same time. They thought they had some big mission, so they quickly promised: "Don't worry, leader, we will definitely keep it secret, and we won't say a word even to death!"
Li Hao no longer hesitated: "After the troop training is completed, the troops will set off immediately, directly crossing the base area defense line and going deep behind enemy lines!"
"The reconnaissance company is responsible for enemy situation reconnaissance at all Japanese and puppet army strongholds within a range of 50 kilometers from the base area defense line to the west of Guangling."
"The commando team is responsible for enemy situation reconnaissance at all Japanese and puppet army strongholds within a range of fifty kilometers from the base area defense line north of Laiyuan."
"Reconnaissance of the enemy again?" A look of disappointment flashed across Xiao Yuan and Chen Wei's faces at the same time!
In fact, this task is far different from the big task they want in their hearts.
Li Hao added seriously: "Don't underestimate this investigation!"
"It is related to the success or failure of our garrison's next big battle. There must be no accidents!"
"It is also fundamentally different from the reconnaissance mission you just concluded!"
"It's more difficult and more challenging, and you may put yourself in danger at any time."
The disappointed expressions on the two people's faces were slowly replaced by seriousness!
The leader can't be wrong. Since he attaches so much importance to it, this investigation mission must be extraordinary!
Look at Li Hao and wait for the next chapter!
"In the last reconnaissance, all you need to do is to be the eyes of the main force. If you keep an eye on the Japanese, the mission will be completed!"
"There are big changes this time. You must not only keep an eye on the little devils, but also take the initiative to find out the specific troop configuration and firepower configuration of the Japanese and puppet troops in each stronghold. The more detailed the better!"
"After the investigation is completed, all enemy information must be summarized on the map and reported to the regiment headquarters within the specified time!"
"I'll give you twenty days. If you can complete the task, you have to think about it and answer me!"
"Promise to complete the task!" The two people replied in unison!
Li Hao nodded and continued: "I know what you are thinking!"
"As the two most powerful elites in the entire regiment, it is indeed a bit humiliating for you to be the eyes of the troops and detect the enemy's situation!"
"However, looking at the entire garrison, if you can survive deep behind enemy lines for dozens of days without supplies or reinforcements, and detect the enemy's situation, only you can do it!"
"So this mission belongs to you!"
"As for the big battle you have been longing for, I can make you a promise!"
"After the main force's operation begins, I will give you at least one month of free movement!"
"At that time, as long as they are enemies, you can fight whoever you want. I will never interfere."
At the first company station of the Special Agent Battalion in the south of Laiyuan City, more than two hundred soldiers are training in full swing!
Commando captain Xiao Yuan, reconnaissance company commander Chen Wei, and special agent battalion commander Liu Senyun were standing at the edge of the training ground, holding binoculars and searching back and forth among the team for almost half an hour!
Liu Senyun was very anxious!
Both of them came to the spy camp to select people. Anyone they selected, as long as they were not cadres above the platoon, would be released unconditionally!
Liu Senyun was unwilling from the bottom of his heart!
But this is the leader’s order, and you must carry it out!
And he also knows the special nature of these two troops in the garrison. They specialize in performing tasks that ordinary troops cannot complete, and deliver fatal blows to the enemy at critical moments. Any troop in the garrison can have trouble, but they can't!
So reason told him: As a member of the garrison, not only cannot he prevent the two armies from growing stronger, but he must also do everything possible to support them!
But emotionally Liu Senyun still hopes that they will choose fewer people.
What they want are the elites, veterans, and backbones of the military.
These people are also very important to the spy camp.
If too many are transferred at once, it will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the secret service battalion.
Judging from their expressions, I have already spotted quite a few people.
But I have no intention of moving yet!
At this time, the fool also understood that the longer they stayed here, the more people they would like in the end.
The first company's combat effectiveness is the strongest in the secret service camp. Liu Senyun doesn't want Xiao Yuan and Chen Wei to come and the strongest will directly become the weakest.
"I've picked it!" Fortunately, Xiao Yuan spoke at this time!
Chen Wei put down the telescope and said, "I've made my selections too. If there are duplicates of the candidates we selected, they will all go to the commando team!"
"You are the well-deserved elite of the entire regiment, and you are also performing the most dangerous missions. We must first ensure that the commando team is fully staffed, and then consider the reconnaissance company."
Liu Senyun was obviously relieved!
Looking at the two people eagerly, he asked: "Captain Xiao, Captain Chen, how many people have you chosen? Don't pick away all the backbone of the company! Otherwise, the combat effectiveness of the company will be greatly weakened!"
Xiao Yuan understood Liu Senyun's complicated mood now and quickly replied: "Don't worry, Battalion Commander Liu, we won't take away all your sweethearts! I only picked one person, and it will definitely not affect the company's combat effectiveness!"
"I like four people!" Chen Wei replied!
Liu Senyun's tense nerves completely relaxed: "That's good, let's go over now and take out the few people you like!"
Xiao Yuan and Chen Wei came and left quickly. They took out the new team members they liked and left without staying for a minute!
The time Li Hao gave them was too short, and every task was very urgent!
In Gongqiao Village, Laiyuan County, as night falls, the people who are reclaiming wasteland outside the village begin to go home one after another!
Zhang’s family is no exception!
The eldest son got his wish and joined the Eighth Route Army and became a recruit of the First Company of the Special Agent Battalion of the Garrison Regiment!
There are five people left in the family, and the whole family has been out together these days!
Father Zhang, his wife, and their second son are responsible for reclaiming wasteland!
The third daughter and the youngest son are responsible for clearing away the weeds and stones in the fields!
After a busy day, everyone is very tired and hungry, even lying on the chair without wanting to get up!
But Father Zhang was very happy.
The busyness in front of him can give him hope.
Unlike before when I worked as a tenant for Rich Man Zhang, I worked hard to cultivate dozens of acres of land a year, and finally waited until the autumn harvest. Not only did I have to pay grain taxes, but I also had to pay rent!
No matter how much you harvest from an acre of land, you will never end up with more than fifty kilograms of grain in your hands!
This results in the whole family spending nearly half a year every year eating wild vegetables to survive!
If the year is bad and the little devils impose additional grain taxes, people may starve to death!
In the eyes of Mr. Zhang, there is no hope to describe the busyness at that time!
The entire Zhang family is like the slaves of the rich man Zhang's family. They are busy with endless things every day, but they don't have enough to eat. After eating this meal, they worry about the next meal and have no future at all!
Things are different now. If you reclaim one acre of land and meet the standards, you can immediately receive fifty kilograms of grain!
Yesterday afternoon, the first acre of land reclaimed by the Zhang family passed the inspection!
As agreed, they can go to the guerrilla station at the entrance of the village to collect food today!
Although he was very tired, when he thought about getting fifty kilograms of food at home, Father Zhang couldn't help but smile!
"Second brother, come with me to get food!"
"My dear, you cook at home, and the third and fourth sons will help!"
"Tonight we are eating steamed buns, and by the way, we took out a pound of marinated horse meat and chopped it up!"
"Everyone has been busy for several days, so it's time for a good meal!"
"Also, steam more steamed buns when collecting them, and save them for us to eat in the fields at noon tomorrow!"
"Only when we are full can we have the energy to work. Open two more acres of land before spring plowing and bring back more grain!"
